Rhyven
Rhyven is an agent marketplace and runtime that provides headless apps for artificial intelligence agents.
Rhyven is a marketplace and runtime for headless, agent-first apps. It allows your agent to build, use, and improve apps as new needs appear, with no required graphical interface. You connect your agent through MCP or REST, approve installations, and store app data in your own environment. An optional runner provides task tracking, saved context, and a way to ask questions if you only have a model API. Agents can save tested code in a library called a pallet to reuse in later tasks. The software is open source under the Apache-2.0 license.
